Well the first chapter of the redo is done. I didn't change the first part of the chapter. The only part I changed is the part where they are all at school. I redid everything from there to the end.

Lightning illuminated the dark land. The thunder quickly followed, sending a loud crash echoing throughout the land. Arisawa Tatsuki stood upon the ledge of the tallest cliff. She looked around in confusion, wondering where she was. The storm grew louder in the background. Bolts of lightning appeared more frequently as she tried to make sense of where she was at. Suddenly it grew quiet. The storm no longer roared and Tatsuki was left doomed to be lost in the darkness.

Suddenly, laughter filled the air. It was faint but audible enough for her to hear it. It was a deep laughter that sent a chill down Tatsuki's spine. She looked around trying to find where that laughter came from, but it was no use. There was no light to help her see. The laughter grew louder as Tatsuki's body began to shake lightly. She did not know why she was trembling, but it was something she could not control.

Just then a light appeared in the distance. The laughter stopped. The light soon grew bigger as though it was heading towards Tatsuki. She took a step back and almost lost her footing. She forgot she was standing at the edge of a cliff. She didn't look down, but she knew it was a long drop. As it got closer, she could make out a few characteristics. 'Is that a… dragon?' She thought to herself.

As it got closer, her suspicions were correct. Coming at her was an aqua colored dragon. It let out a load roar that made Tatsuki shiver violently. The dragon began emitting a powerful reiatsu that made her fall to her knees. It felt like a heavy weight was placed on her back. She was barely holding herself up. Finally her arms gave in and she laid flat on the ground, unable to move. The dragon drew nearer and its roar grew louder. As the dragon drew closer Tatsuki noticed something odd about it.

At the top of the dragon's head, something shone brightly. She couldn't quite make it out because it was still far away. She struggled to get up, trying to fight this immense reiatsu keeping her down. Just then the dragon finally made it to the ledge, floating there in front of Tatsuki. It just stood there staring down at her frail body.

She looked up into its eyes. They were like emeralds, shining brightly into her eyes. Just above the dragon's eyes, on the forehead, a black mass encircled by a crimson red glow sat there. She could barely make out what it was. "Arisawa Tatsuki…" It spoke.

Open. Tatsuki sat up and looked around at the familiar walls of her room. She clenched the bed sheets tightly with one hand as she placed a hand on her face. She was surprised when she noticed that her hand was trembling lightly. For days, now, Tatsuki has had dreams similar to the one she just had. Each dream was a continuation of where the other had left off. 'What is going on with me?' She thought to herself.

The next day at school, Tatsuki was exhausted. Though she didn't show it, those who knew her could tell she was tired. Waking up in the middle of the night for eight days straight because of the dream started to take its toll on her. It did not help the fact that Orihime called Tatsuki 5 A.M. in the morning to tell her that she could make it into school because she had a severe cold and hoped Tatsuki could get the notes for her. She reluctantly agreed and after hanging up the phone tried to go back to sleep only to be interrupted again by the sun peeking through the cracks of the blinds.

She walked into the classroom and plopped herself into her seat. Ichigo, who was sitting in the back corner talking to Chad, glanced over and saw this display of exhaustion. Worried, Ichigo excused himself to Chad and sat on a desk next to Tatsuki.

He looked over and studied her face. Her eyes were closed and Ichigo could barely hear her snoring lightly. He grinned as he ran a finger across her cheek causing her to tremble lightly. She slowly opened her eyes to Ichigo who sat there with a goofy grin on his face. Tatsuki's eyes started closing again before her mind could process his grin. She opened her eyes once more and Ichigo still had that grin. She inadvertently jerked her head back and gave him a weird look. Ichigo chuckled lightly as he placed a hand on her head.

By now everyone knew they were dating. Chad was the first person to find out about the two of them. He was walking home one day after going to the park and passed by Ichigo's house. As he walked past the front gate, he glanced over and saw Tatsuki and Ichigo sharing a kiss in front of his house. As he was passing by, Ichigo's eyes happen to look over where he stood and he quickly parted from her lips. Tatsuki looked up at him in a pouting manner, but then followed where his eyes looked and saw Chad there. He had a smile on his face that caused Tatsuki to look away and blush lightly. Ichigo grinned as he tried to think of an explanation. Chad just smiled as he walked away. Tatsuki looked up at Ichigo who just stood there and smiled at her. He held her close once more before she left.

From there, Orihime found out next. She was walking around the city going shopping for food when she saw Tatsuki sitting outside at a café. She was about to yell her name when she saw Ichigo come up and kiss her head. Orihime quickly hid in an alley and watched the two of them. Tatsuki looked up at Ichigo and they kissed. Orihime looked away, depressed. She had strong feelings for Ichigo, but she never acted on them. Inoue turned around and began walking away. Tears fell from her eyes as she created more and more distance from the young couple. Now she reluctantly accepted the fact that they were together and she couldn't break them apart without turning into the bad guy in the situation.

But the real reason everyone found out about Tatsuki and Ichigo was through Keigo's loud mouth. One day, Tatsuki and Ichigo were walking to class hand in hand. Keigo was in the classroom talking to Mizuiro. He felt Ichigo's presence outside and decided to surprise him. He made his way to the door, and peeked outside. Just as he poked his head through, he caught Ichigo and Tatsuki kissing by the windows. His eyes widened as he stood there and stared at them. He quickly hid behind the door trying to hold his breath. He didn't want them to know he caught them in the act. Just then Ichigo and Tatsuki walked into the classroom.

"Oi, Keigo. What are you doing standing there?" Ichigo asked with his usual scowl.

"I/didn't/just/catch/you/and/Tatsuki-chan/making/out!" He blurted out. Both Ichigo and Tatsuki stopped in their tracks. Their eyes widened with shock, Tatsuki's face turned a light red. Ichigo quickly turned to glare at Keigo. Keigo's face turned a pale white. Everyone in the class stood silent. They either had their eyes on Ichigo, Tatsuki, or Keigo. Suddenly a few of the girls began giggling and whispering. Some of the guys started chuckling under their breaths. Ichigo got teased by a lot of his classmates for awhile, but it progressively decreased until no one said anything about it. They all got used to seeing the two of them together. Keigo lived in fear since then, expecting either Ichigo or Tatsuki to get revenge on him.

The school bell rang and it was time for class. The school day dragged on and it seemed like forever for most of the students. The reason being it was the last day of their junior year and they were ready to get out of high school for the summer. When the bell finally rang, most of the students rushed out of the classrooms and into the hallway. It was like the running of the bulls in the hallways. Teachers scrambled to say good-byes to their students who were halfway out the doors.

Ichigo and Tatsuki slowly walked down the hallway, hand in hand, towards the front doors. The others walked in front of them at the same pace.

"Hey Ichigo," Tatsuki said. "What are you plans for the summer?" Ichigo looked down at her and smiled.

"I don't know, yet." He said.

"I was thinking about going on a trip to the beach." She began. The others all stopped and turned to look at her.

"Let's all go as a group to kick off the summer." She said cheerfully. Ichigo was for the idea. Chad was the first to agree. Orihime smiled as she accepted the invite. Uryuu agreed as did Rukia and Mizuiro.

"What about me?" Keigo asked. Tatsuki looked him right in the eyes and flashed an evil grin in his direction.

"You're defiantly invited." She said menacingly. Keigo realized what she meant and grew nervous. He hid behind Chad as the group began laughing. After they got out of the school yard, Tatsuki arranged everything.

"Ok meet at the train station tomorrow at Noon!" She said. "Bring sleeping bags!" She yelled as they all went their separate ways home. Ichigo and Tatsuki walked home together. They headed towards Tatsuki's house first. While on the way, Ichigo's substitute shinigami badge began beeping. He let out a loud sigh and glanced at Tatsuki. She shook her head and shrugged her shoulders as he ran over to an alley. He quickly ejected himself from his body and emerged in his shinigami robes.

"I'll be back." He said. And with that he jumped into the air and disappeared. Tatsuki leaned against the wall next to where his body lay. Ichigo reappeared near the hollow. It made its way around the park sniffing for souls. When Ichigo arrived, it felt his reiatsu and turned to face him. Ichigo stood there looking annoyed as the hollow began charging him. He lifted Zangetsu in the air and was about the strike when he felt another reiatsu coming at his direction fast.

Suddenly the sound of something getting sliced filled the air. Ichigo's eyes widened as he watched the hollow disintegrate before his eyes. Just as the hollow completely vanished, Ichigo saw a figure standing on the other side. It was a guy who looked really familiar.

"You're so slow, Ichigo." The man said with a grin. Ichigo realized who it was.

"Eratu Yamasaki." He said. Yamasaki looked at Ichigo with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked.

"I was looking for Tatsuki. Do you know where I can find her?" He asked.

"She's where I left my body." Ichigo responded. Yamasaki placed Rukenai, his zanpaktou, back into its scabbard.

"Have you noticed anything different about her?" Yamasaki asked. Ichigo gave him a weird look as he thought about all the times he was with Tatsuki. But with each thought, he could not think of it.

"I don't mean her looks, you idiot." Yamasaki shook his head. "I meant her reiatsu. Have you felt the change in her reiatsu? Find her right now. You can just feel it changing." He said.

"What are you talking about?" Ichigo said.

"Quiet. Just stop for a second and look for it." Eratu said. Ichigo tried to focus on Tatsuki's reiatsu. When he found her, he observed her reiatsu. Nothing seemed different about her reiatsu. Ichigo was about to yell at Yamasaki before he felt a sudden jolt. Tatsuki's reiatsu sky rocketed for a split second. Ichigo's eyes widened when he felt that sudden jolt. It was such a strong reiatsu, it surpassed even his own. He knew Tatsuki had obtained powers just like Chad and Orihime did, but he didn't know it was that strong.

"What was that?" Ichigo gasped. Yamasaki stared towards Tatsuki's direction.

"Keep an eye on her Ichigo. I don't know what it is yet, but something tells me it's not good." Yamasaki stated. "I'm going to go look into further. But for now keep an eye on her." Ichigo nodded and with that he disappeared. Ichigo stood there for second before he went back to Tatsuki. When he got back he found Tatsuki leaning on the wall just standing there. He smiled as she looked over at him.

"Took you long enough," She said. "What happened?" Ichigo quickly jumped back into his body before answering her.

"It was nothing. I just ran into Yamasaki when I got there." He responded.

"Oh yeah, what did he want?" Ichigo debated on whether to tell her what they talked about. But he didn't want her to worry so he decided against it.

"It was nothing really. He just stopped by to see how everyone was doing." He said with a small smile. Tatsuki smiled as well as she reached out for his hand. He gladly took hers in his and they continued walking home.

I'm gonna try and make this story take place over the whole summer vacation and maybe a little bit of their senior year as a way to wrap things up.
